Box wine, "thumbs up"

Why? The bottle doesn't break, the square box (some brands have a better shape than others) fits nicely on my counter/in my fridge, the package is relatively eco-friendly, it goes nicely with my plastic wine glasses, and 4 BOTTLES IN ONE BOX! What more could you ask for? The wine from your wedding to come in a box??? DONE! I found Powers Winery Cabernet Sauvignon in a box at the local co-op and it is just as good as I remember. Happiness!

Lehe Paine

Who are we?

Frank and Jody and their kids Katreina and Trent have been living aboard their Beneteau 393 "Lehe Paine" since the spring of 2009. They're still part of the "daily grind," but are enjoying living aboard and preparing for eventual retirement!

"Lehe Paine" loosely translates to "(light) Blue Water" in the Tehuelche language. We were introduced to this language on a trip to the Patagonia region and figured a language that was used by a nomadic culture was fitting for our new lifestyle.
